USEA COMBINED TEST POLICY

DEFINITIONA USEA recognized combined test comprises two of the three tests of a horse trial and takes place on one day, during which the competitor rides the same horse in both tests. Each competitor’s scores from both tests are added together to determine the result. Riders may compete with more than one horse in a combined test.

If a cross-country phase is offered, horse and rider qualifications shall be the same as the qualifications to compete in a horse trial of the same level. There are no set qualifications if the combined test consists of the dressage and show jumping phases.

COMBINED TEST POLICYA. For USEA recognition the dates and divisions must be approved by the area chairman and the appropriate registration fee(s) paid to the USEA at the appropriate deadlines. All USEA recognized competitions must submit all documents and fees due to the USEA Office within 10 working days of the competition.

B. USEA membership is not required for any level of a combined test, but a non-member fee of $25 will be collected. USEA Starter, D&M fees do not apply.

C. A Federation licensed judge is required. If the combined test offers a cross-country phase at the Intermediate or Advanced level, then the Federation Official must be selected from the roster of “R” (intermediate) or “S” (advanced) licensed Eventing Judges. Other judges may be Federation Licensed Judges, participants, or graduates of the USEA Training Program, or knowledgeable horseman.

D. In both the cross-country and show jumping phases, timing is optional. If timing is used, it must conform to U.S. Equestrian Rules for Eventing appropriate to that phase.

E. If a combined test consists of the dressage and show jumping phases, a competitor may enter the same horse in two consecutive levels.

F. The same horse may compete in both a horse trials and a combined test that is offered at a competition provided the horse only competes over one cross-country course. The horse may compete for placing in the final classification if the levels are the same or consecutive. If the levels are not consecutive, the horse may compete, however, he may compete for final placing in one level only and must ride the other level Hors Concours.

G. Schooling and warm-up areas should be supervised.

H. Whenever horses are tied in the final classification, the horse with the least number of faults (jumping and time) in the show jumping or cross-country test shall be placed first. If still tied, the best score of the collective marks of the Dressage shall prevail. If still tied, placings and awards are to be duplicated.

I. USEA combined tests shall conform to the following USEF Rules concerning safety, cruelty and competition.

HISTORY OF THE USEA

The United States Eventing Association, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit educational organization, was founded as the United States Combined Training Association (USCTA) in September, 1959, the vision of Alexander Mackay-Smith, who felt that in addition to the American Horse Show Association and United States Equestrian Team (now merged as the United States Equestrian Federation), a third organization was needed to promote the fledgling sport of Combined Training (now known as Eventing) in the United States. Initially the association’s roster included just two dozen names, including Mackay-Smith and other notables such as Jack Fritz, Philip Hoffman, Roger Maher, and Lana Wright (neé DuPont). Today it boasts more than 12,000 members. Each year more than 42,000 starters run at over 250 USEA-recognized competitions throughout the country.

The mission of the USCTA in 1959 and of the USEA in 2020 remains much the same – to make eventing safe, fun, and fair to all who join the USEA ranks, while at the same time promoting this incredible sport to the public. As a service organization, the USEA is dedicated to advancing the sport by educating riders, trainers, organizers, officials, the media, and volunteers, with the health and well being of the horse of paramount importance. By assisting and educating competitors, event organizers, and officials; maintaining responsible safety standards; and registering qualified competitions and clinics, the USEA offers a strong and continuous training opportunity for an ever-expanding field of eventers, from Beginner Novice to Olympic level.

USEA STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

U.S. Eventing Association — Dedicated to Equine Welfare

The sport of Eventing, in relation to English riding and horsemanship, embraces the principle that training of the horse and rider in the elements of classical dressage, combined with training of the horse and rider in jumping obstacles, will improve the performance of both across country.

From its inception in 1959, the United States Combined Training Association, since 2001 known as the United States Eventing Association, has sought:

To educate horse owners and riders in those principles and practices of horsemanship embodied in the term Eventing, and founded upon the essential relationships of classical dressage to cross-country riding;

To promote through such education the safe, healthful, humane, and effective training, use, and care of horses;

To educate horse owners and riders in methods of evaluation of the abilities, state of training, and condition of both riders and horses, as measures of achievement and a foundation for further training;

To sponsor or encourage persons to develop facilities for testing and evaluating the abilities, state of training, and condition of both horses and riders;

To sponsor, organize, or encourage persons to organize horse trials, combined tests, two-day events and three-day events under the rules of the U.S. Equestrian Federation (USEF), and the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body for horse sports;

To sponsor, organize, or encourage persons to organize educational forums and practical training clinics in furtherance of any of those purposes;

And to work cooperatively within the scope of its purposes with other organizations such as the USEF, FEI, USPC, and AHC, as well as national breed associations.

Implicit in the work of the USEA, and central to its philosophy, is the welfare of the horse. At each of the levels of prescribed testing, the horses and riders are subjected to distinct tests of physical agility, strength, and endurance, as well as mental and emotional preparation. The horse must be healthy, fit, prepared, and willing in order to perform.

The rules of the USEF, which are observed by the USEA, call for safe, secure, and comfortable stabling, with proper arrangements for the procuring of feed and water, the availability of veterinary and farrier support, and the layout and construction of arenas and courses with jumpable obstacles appropriate in difficulty to each

specified level. The rules forbid cruelty and provide severe punishment for any violation.

At the heart of successful training is continuous interaction between rider and horse which may simply be expressed as “ask-receive-reward.” Out of this process, the horse-rider combination achieves mutual respect, realization of mutual dependence, and mutual trust.

The Board of Governors of the United States Eventing Association hereby embraces the Code of Conduct as promulgated by the FEI, as it may apply within its sphere of activity and authority. To this end it is stated:

1. In Eventing, the horse must be considered paramount of importance.

2. The well being of the horse shall be above the demands of breeders, trainers, riders, owners, dealers, organizers, sponsors, or officials.

3. All handling and veterinary treatment must be directed toward the health and welfare of the horse.

4. The highest standards of nutrition, health, sanitation, and safety shall be encouraged and striven for at all times.

5. Members and competitors shall be advised to make adequate provisions for ventilation, feeding, watering, and maintenance of a healthy environment during transportation.

6. Emphasis shall be placed on increasing the education and training of both horse and rider, and in promoting scientific studies in equine health.

7. In the interest of the horse, the fitness and competence of the rider shall be regarded as essential.

8. All riding and training methods must take account of the horse as a living entity. It must not include any technique considered by the USEF to be abusive.

9. The USEA continues to work with the USEF to maintain adequate controls in order that persons and bodies under their jurisdictions respect the welfare of the horse.

10. The USEA will encourage its members to adhere to these principles in training as well as in competition.
